BMA donates to the Dorothy Menzies Childcare Center

Dorothy Menzies Childcare Center 

On Monday, 13th August, 2007, BMA donated $ 500.00 to the Dorothy Menzies Childcare Center to assist the institution with its summer school program.  

The Dorothy Menzies Childcare Center was established in 1975 but in 1999 it was renamed in honor of its present Chairperson of the Board  Mrs. Dorothy Menzies. This center is presently the home of over 200 children (100 boy, 100 girls)  from various backgrounds in Belize. Most of the children placed at this center have been abused, neglected, or abandoned.

According to Ms. Augustine, Supervisor of the Center, the money will be used to purchase much needed food, snacks and juices for the children to enjoy while they learn.

In December, 2006, BMA and its staff also contributed $ 1,000.00 to the institution which was used for books, uniforms, purchasing computers etc.  However, the center is still in need of much more assistance to continue its upkeep and educating its children.

Some of the much needed items include  footwear, lotions, hair grease, pampers, disposable gloves and kitchen plastic wears such as plates, cups and spoons.
